Rhine River Hub of Germany and Its Strategic Value
The Rhine, averaging 600 feet wide in the German portion and 1,500 feet at Mannheim, runs parallel to Germany's industrial heartland. It waters 850 miles from the Alps to the German sea, supports potash ore and coal from Lorraine and Saar, and sustains steel and iron industries. Allied crossings on the Rhine mark a turning point in the war, with the river viewed as a historic symbol and military barrier guarding Germany's fate. The Ruhr and Ruhrort figure as key coal and river-port nodes, while navigation reaches Basel to the North Sea via Dutch waters.
